You call this entrepreneurship?

Chapter 122 Giving Gifts to Colleagues
Yang Botao always did things cleanly and quickly helped Li Wanzhou contact Peng Xiaolin, the vice president of Lenovo Investment.

Relying on his connections and face, as well as Li Wanzhou's reputation as a Silicon Valley returnee, he easily obtained an investment of 10 million RMB.

Entrepreneurship and investment are so realistic. As long as you have connections, you can get funds just by relying on face and words, even if you have nothing.

Without connections and connections, even if you have real skills and skills, it will be difficult to get money.

You won’t be looked at seriously even if you beg your grandpa or sue your grandma or grovel to investors.

What seems so difficult to you may be just a few words from someone else.

The reality is so unreasonable, drought will kill people, and floods will kill people.

Li Wanzhou was very excited after receiving the investment letter of intent. He did not expect that it would be so easy to start a business and attract investment.

For a time, he was full of confidence in his future business path.

Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done before starting a formal business.

For example, renting an office, recruiting an entrepreneurial team, registering a company, and filing a website are a series of preparatory tasks.

These tasks are tedious but not difficult. The only thing that troubles Li Wanzhou is how to choose a name.

Campus Network entered the game early and grabbed this name first. Li Wanzhou thought of choosing a similar website name and gave it a try first.

Then Li Wanzhou realized that his thinking was too simple.

The school network, alumni network, and alumni directory have all been taken over, as well as the student network and fellow school network.

Li Wanzhou tried both the window net and the window net, but was still registered.

Finally, I had no choice but to choose a name for Tongxin.com and completed the registration.

But the name looked so awkward, which made Li Wanzhou feel very unhappy.

Unfortunately, other names couldn't be picked up, so I had to make do with it for the time being.

Tongxin.com was officially established, and Yang Botao, who was far away in Shanghai, even sent a flower basket to congratulate the company on its opening.

In addition to those who invested in Lenovo, Li Wanzhou’s classmates and friends also came to support him.

Li Wanzhou was very excited watching the lively scene.

It was really noisy with gongs and drums, firecrackers blasting, red flags waving, and huge crowds of people.

The brothers of Tongxin.com are ambitious and eager to compete with the campus network on the spot.

In order to show his presence, Li Wanzhou also specially sent an invitation to the campus network, inviting this colleague to attend the opening ceremony.

It's a pity that after the invitation was sent out, it disappeared. There was no response from the campus network, and no one was sent to attend the ceremony.

"My local counterparts are so rude!" Li Wanzhou expressed some dissatisfaction, "I'll pay him a visit in person later."

……

"Tongxin.com?!" Qin Shaoyan picked up the invitation and took a look at it, a little surprised, "Is this a marriage agency? Why did you send us an invitation?"

Zhang Pingyi opened the invitation, pointed to the small words on it and said: "Tongxin.com is not a marriage agency, they are our colleagues."

Qin Shaoyan took a closer look and saw "Campus real-name high-end social networking site - Tongxin.com" written on it.

"Hey, I'm actually a colleague. Why did you call me such a bad name? I thought he was engaged in marriage arrangements." Qin Shaoyan turned over the invitation, "Now this colleague is really polite. He didn't forget to send me an invitation when he opened the business."

"Well, they don't want me to follow the gang, right?" Qin Shaoyan fell into deep thought.

"What a follower." Zhang Mingyi said angrily: "This is a letter of challenge. This is a provocation to you."

"Don't think so bad of people." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "My colleagues have sent invitations, so it would be inappropriate for us not to go. How about you change into a formal suit and go visit with me."

Zhang Minyi was very surprised and asked: "What are you going to do?"

"My colleagues are opening their business. I have to express my gratitude and I should give you a gift." Qin Shaoyan stood up and looked for his suit. "Don't wait any longer. They will get off work soon."

Zhang Pingyi watched Qin Shaoyan put on a high-end suit and gold-rimmed glasses, and suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.

When Qin Shaoyan rushed to Tongxin.com, the flower basket at the door had been taken away, and the red carpet on the ground had not had time to be removed.

Qin Shaoyan stepped on the debris on the ground and walked in, showing a standard smile to the beautiful front desk, "Hello, I'm here to see Mr. Li Wanzhou."

The front desk was stunned for a moment and quickly replied: "What can I do for you?" "I specialize in website domain name agency. My surname is Qin." Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "You can call Mr. Li Wanzhou directly and tell him, We have many suitable domain names on hand."

The receptionist called Li Wanzhou's office suspiciously, and soon Li Wanzhou walked out.

"Mr. Qin, please come in." Li Wanzhou enthusiastically welcomed Qin Shaoyan and Zhang Minyi into the office, and said with a smile, "I just opened my business today, and you guys came to my door. You are very well-informed."

Qin Shaoyan said with a smile: "We also need to keep abreast of industry trends. This is the only way to facilitate business."

Li Wanzhou nodded, "The Internet is very efficient."

"You are a domain name agency, right? What domain names do you have?"

Qin Shaoyan took out a thick catalog from his briefcase, opened it carefully and put it on the table, "Your company is engaged in campus social activities, so I selected some for you. You can see if they are suitable."

Li Wanzhou curiously took the catalog and glanced at it a few times, his eyes widened immediately.

The directory not only includes school network, alumni network, and classmate network, but also names such as window network, seize class network, and happy network.

Li Wanzhou couldn't help but glance at Qin Shaoyan, and he couldn't help but feel a little jealous. It turned out that you had registered the names and domain names of so many good websites, which made me choose a nondescript name.

However, Li Wanzhou was jealous. He also knew that those who engage in this kind of business must not only have connections, but also have a keen business sense.

Just grabbing a lot of domain names is useless, there must be a market, otherwise it will be like losing your hands.

"How much does your school network cost?" Li Wanzhou pointed his finger and asked tentatively.

"Website name plus domain name, complete legal transfer procedures, 15 million." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile.

Damn it, why don’t you grab it?
Li Wanzhou's face darkened and he pointed to the classmates website, "Where is this?"

"This is twelve million."

"Where's the classmates network?"

"This is cheap, just four million."

Li Wanzhou smacked his lips, "The price you're asking for is too outrageous. A website name plus domain name is just a few million."

"Is it expensive?" Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "What I sell is not only the website name and domain name, but also the brand."

“A good website name and domain name are not only catchy and easy to remember, but also highlight the website’s positioning.”

"For example, the campus network and the classmate network, everyone will know what the website is about as soon as they hear it."

"The campus network is valued at more than one billion, and the name alone is worth one to two hundred million."

"Look at your Tongxin website again. It sounds like it has nothing to do with a campus website. It's like a marriage agency. It doesn't fit the positioning of the website."

Li Wanzhou thought about it and felt that it was indeed the case, but he had limited funds. Otherwise, he would have bought good names such as the school network and the classmates network.

Seeing that Li Wanzhou was silent, Qin Shaoyan asked with a smile: "Mr. Li, please tell me an approximate budget, and I will recommend one to you."

"Within two million." Li Wanzhou pondered for a few seconds, "But it must be related to the campus."

"How about the classmate network? After ten years of hard work, no one asked, and once you become famous, it will be known all over the world." Qin Shaoyan asked enthusiastically, "Only 2.5 million is needed."

"Two million and a half million?!" Li Wanzhou frowned, "This number doesn't sound good."

"Then I'll step back and give you a discount." Qin Shaoyan said generously, "How about two million four hundred and ninety-eight thousand?"

"..." Li Wanzhou thought for a while and finally made up his mind, "Deal!"

Qin Shaoyan stood up with a smile and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Li, for winning the domain name of your classmates."

Although Li Wanzhou feels a little distressed about such a large amount of money, buying a good name is more important, which is equivalent to advertising.

It's money well spent!
"Mr. Qin, please leave me a business card." Li Wanzhou thought for a while and said, "Maybe we will cooperate in the future."

"No problem." Qin Shaoyan took out a business card from his arms and handed it over with a smile, "Call me anytime if you need it."

Li Wanzhou took the business card, looked at it, frowned and said, "Is it... you must... be here?"

"That's right, Lobidon Technology Co., Ltd." Qin Shaoyan explained with a smile, "Our company culture is that only by hard work can we reach the top, so we call it Lobidon."

Li Wanzhou smacked his lips, thinking this name was so strange.
